Is life possible without evaporation?

No, life is not possible without evaporation because if water does not evaporate the water in water bodies would not change .as it wouldn't change the polluted water can harm the environment diseases would spread aground ..it will become difficult to survive without evaporation .not only evaporation ,it would be hard to live in conditions against nature.


What is rapid evaporation?

Direct evaporation is evaporation without plasma forming.


How long does it take a plant to grow without sunlight?

No. It's really the leaves that need the sunlight, for photosythesis, so without that the plant will starve to death. Without water the whole plant will die, just like any living organism in the same predicament.


How can water evaporate from a puddle without reaching its boiling point?

Boiling and evaporation are two different processes. In boiling, an entire mass of water converts into gaseous form simultaneously. Evaporation is essentially a surface phenomenon in which molecules of the surface acquire enough energy (from collisions) to escape the surface and become gaseous. As only a small portion of molecules are able to attain this sufficient kinetic energy, rate of evaporation is limited. Also surface molecules need to be moving in a specific direction, apart from having the essential kinetic energy, in order to overcome the intermolecular forces in liquid phase. So, temperature need not be 100 degrees Celsius for evaporation to take place, although, rate of evaporation increases with temperature.


Does sunlight affects plans growth or does it needmore water?

Plants need sunlight and water to grow. It will die without water, and it will die without sunlight, it is just a matter of time. Different plants need different amounts of water and sunlight. What is not enough water for a rose may be too much water for a cactus. Likewise, what is not enough sunlight for a rose, may be too much sunlight for a rhododendrum. A plant with too little sunlight will not grow to it´s full height, and a plant with too little water will not grow to it´s full height either.


The changing of a liquid to a gas without boiling is called?

This process is called evaporation.


What is the relationship between the hydrologic cycle and thermal energy?

Well, without the sun, witch is heat, the is no evaporation. Without evaporation there is no hydrologic cycle.


Do plants grow better in sunlight or no sunlight?

sunlight because plants can`t grow without sunlight


Can evaporation takes place without heating?

no


Can flower plants grow without sunlight?

Flowers couldgrow without sunlight, but it can only grow for a days.


Can garlic mustard grow without sunlight?

Yes, garlic mustard usually grows without sunlight.


Why might cultivating land by minimum tillage conserve soil water?

Without fully overturning the soil, minimum tillage leaves the water underground instead of exposing it to the air and sunlight, thus preventing/slowing evaporation.
